#prompt: write a poem making reference to one or more myths ft. wordplay (inc. rhyme); a mix of formal + informal language#and multiple sections that play with a theme. also try to incorporate an abstract concept.#so this is VERY LOOSELY based on the very first bit of the osiris myth. namely the part where set murks him.#the sections are LOOSELY based on various stages of the mummification process (osiris ofc being the first one to undergo said process)#and it's basically set grappling with the resentment of being The Evil Half of a dichotomy and the strange grief of losing your brother--#when you're the one who killed him.#cannot emphasise enough how much this bears almost no resemblance to the myth or to anything rly. was just having fun. gd bless.#i don't know shit about shit. my egyptology phase was damn near 20 years ago. most of this is prolly wrong.#you can't be mad at me abt that bc i'm telling you upfront. also bc i wrote this for me. but you can all look at it.#napowrimo#napowrimo 2025#glopowrimo#spilled ink#writeblr#poetry on tumblr#poets on tumblr#poems on tumblr#poetry#poem#poems#ekphrastic poem#ekphrastic poetry#damien.txt#image description in alt
